Is this the new face of TPA? Are these the jobs that will save Baltimore County, or just line the pockets of the rich and politically connected.

Did everyone check the mailbox today? We did, and we now present another batch of emails from the dark side of county political cronyism. However, before we take a peek at what goes on behind closed doors (and behind the backs of the voters), let’s take a look at today’s headlines, which scream:

Maybe someone from the Baltimore County Council will explain why they voted on a $2 million plus loan to Amazon. Why in the name of common sense would our elected officials grant such a loan to a company whose owner is worth $100 billion?

Folks, if your head is not spinning, then look for it laying on the ground. That issue alone should be enough to cause outrage among the middle class, as heads are already being chopped off by one of the most blatantly taxed state in the country—MARYLAND!

It is truly a shame that the majority of local news media outlets simply spew out what is told to them in the form of glossy press releases that are far from accurate.

I will repeat this again. TPA is just a landlord that leases property and builds nothing. We guess that is why Mr. Aaron Tomarchio refuses to speak with the Post—because he cannot provide any clear cut answers to our poignant questions.

The Dundalk Eagle had this headline regarding a new tenant at TPA:

Royal Farms first retail tenant for Tradepoint Atlantic

Someone please explain to me how one tenant, Royal Farms, translates into the above photo? One would think that TPA having the above tenants coming to their site would be a major announcement. The Baltimore Post believes this is just more “pie-in-the-sky” propaganda in order to benefit TPA’s bottom-line at the expense of taxpayers.

Another pressing point is the same thing we have been harping about since the get-go—these retail jobs are hardly living wage jobs as promised by our less than stellar politicians. Certainly, this is not related to constant propaganda put forth by TPA.

FYI. We received a request from Dundalk HS to support SAT/ACT Prep Training and Purchase of Equipment for the Dundalk HS Football program. See attached. We have secured funds from our investors to fulfil the entire amount ($40k) requested. Tim Martin, an employee at Tradepoint Rail and a volunteer Football coach for Dundalk brought this need to our attention. I will be reaching out to Mr. Sandora the Football Coach and to the school principal to let them know of our donation. We expect to publicly announce the donation at our April 12th Open House. Wanted to make you aware of this effort, and happy to have you participate in the announcement on 4/12. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Most of the soil is for capping the landfill and stockpiled by EAG. There is a pile associated with the FedEx construction that will be used soon for free space in our projects, The soil is clean but needs to be dried.

Councilman Crandell’s office recently received a few calls from residents about the dirt piles that have appeared near Gray’s Landfill and Peninsula Expressway. Can someone check into this and let me know what they are, and what they will be used for? Thanks.

Regards, Aaron

Folks, there is much more to come, including why officials are ducking the contamination issue and trying to work closely with the MDE to possibly do an end-around on that issue.
